Damien Oliver’s 110th Group 1 Win

23 Apr Damien Oliver’s 110th Group 1 Win

Damien Oliver knew he wasn’t going to ride anywhere else on Saturday when he was told Seabrook was racing at Royal Randwick.
“I’ve got a lot of time for Seabrook and once I knew she was running in Sydney, I wanted to stick with her,’’ Oliver said before the race on the 21st.

Oliver’s belief in Seabrook’s form provided him with his 110th Group 1 win, the filly finished hard on the straight in Royal Randwick to win the $500,000 Moet & Chandon Champagne Stakes.

Oliver’s last win in the Champagne Stakes was 20 years prior on Quick Star.

The trainer of Seabrook prasied Oliver’s ride heavily “That was a genius ride. Not everyone would have the confidence of Damien Oliver to do that and ride the way he did,” Mick Price said.

Over his celebrated career, Damien Oliver has become a hall of fame jockey and on Saturday he notched his 110th Group 1 win in a great ride on Seabrook.
